Reading an excel data set saved as CSV file in pandas

Except when I attempt to use the solutions posted here I am countered with

AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'read'

All I want to do is convert this excel sheet into the pandas format so that I can preform data analysis on some of the subjects of my table. I am super new to this so any information, advice, feedback or whatever that anybody could toss my way would be greatly appreciated.
